广告招租，e-mail:yesize@hotmail.com “Bada bing”—the catchphrase made famous by hit television show“The Sopranos"—has earned a place alongside 3,000 other new entries in the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English. “Reality TV”,“SARS”, someone lacking magic powers from the“Harry Potter”series of novels by author J.K. Rowling, have also been added to the tome, the largest one-volume dictionary of English, the book’s publishers said on Thursday. The Oxford dictionary describes“bada bing”(also“bada bing bada boom”) as an exclamation to emphasise that something will happen effortlessly and predictably. The word is also the name of a strip club in the mob drama. Not to be outdone, British television produced“lovely jubbly”, an expression of delight from wisecracking comedy“Only Fools and Horses”. Another trove of new words is the Internet, which added“cyberslacker”,“egosurf”and“hacktivist”to the dictionary, which concentrates on the living language and is separate from the more established and multi-volume Oxford English Dictionary. Though some entries may perplex and infuriate linguistic purists, the dictionary’s publishers say words are only included if they are well-known and have proven they can pass the test of time. It said texts including comics, newspapers, TV scripts, novels, scholarly journals and the Web are all scoured as fonts for new words. 最新一版的牛津字典又加入了3000条新词条，而电视剧《人在江湖》里面的著名句子“bada bing”也正式成为牛津字典里的词条。此外，还有“真实电社”、“SARS”等词汇也同时进入了字典。 牛津字典的编辑部称，“baba bing”可作为一种对未来一定会发生的事表示惊叹的词，而英国喜剧《只有吃的和马》里的台词“lovely jubbly”则已广泛被用来表达喜悦之情。此外，还有来自互联网的一些新用语，如“cyberslacker”等也被列有新司里。 虽然当中有些词可能会让语言学家觉得困惑甚至生气，不过字典编辑部说，明间会证明这些词语的作用的。
